Nancy "Ka Shen" Kwan (traditional Chinese: 關家蒨; simplified Chinese: 关家蒨; pinyin: Guān Jiāqiàn; born May 19, 1939) is a Hong Kong-born, biracial American actress, who played a pivotal role in the acceptance of actors of Asian ancestry in major Hollywood film roles. Widely praised for her beauty, Kwan was considered a sex symbol in the 1960s.
